Edges of my heart

Chapter 5

Tuesday morning came and I couldn't wait for time to fly,I visited the salon to carve my brows,get my nails poolished and style my hair. I set my hair into a Mexican wavy curls,it was beautiful,no one needs to tell me.   We were to meet at the top roof of the cribhouse at 4.30, I put on a blue and white flowery long jumpsuit which made my ass stick out, I felt good and I reached the top of the cribhouse two mins before 4:30, I looked at my phone screen to check my make-up, I took a selfie after which I waited like what was for enternity. I haven't waited for anyone like this in my life at least not standing. I haven't seen Bryan and now it's past seven,I called ten times no reply. My neck burns , I came down and decided to stroll to my dorm, at least my very cute makeup won't be a waste. I feel so bitter that I don't care if it's the worst guy in school that gets to ask me out on a date because I would definitely say Yes. I strolled a few miles from the crib's house , Bry's car came to a halt in front of me, I bit my lower lip and ceased my brows
'No.....Gosh , he's the last person i want to see or meet right now' I said under my breath then raised my eyes to meet his eyes
" Hey, it's getting really late you know and it ain't safe out here, mind if I drop you off?" Bry said , I rolled my eyes , he was actually right, zip guys seemed to be troubling the school these days. I sighed and  threw my head back in defeat as I hopped into his Ford. Bry looked away from the road for a split second as he glanced at me
"What can possibly make a stunning queen sad this evening?" He asked , eyes glued to the road , his hands wrapped around the steering wheel. I remained silent, we should have met, he should have said something but no, we didn't meet.
"Do you care for ice cream?" He asked again, glancing at me , a gentle smile rose to my lips
'Yum!, I can't easily be poisoned with that, I can't say no to this offer ' I said to my myself then nodded to Bry .
             Bry drove down to an ice cream store in school , funny enough,it was my first time noticing that the school had an ice cream store.
" Has this store always been here? Cos it seems I'm just noticing" I said aloud, Bry looked at me with an amused look on his face
"Where have you been to so far?" He asked, I laughed under my breath .
I finally settled for a vanilla and chocolate ice cream with sprinkles after three minutes of thinking, when my order finally arrived, I devoured it in a minute, ignoring the intense brain freeze and the ridiculous smile I got from Bry because I could tell he was staring at me. He gently pushed his ice cream towards me
"You can have mine" he said, I sheepishly smiled but shook my head
"Nah, I'm good" I said , but that didn't stop Bry from forcing the ice cream spoon into my palm , I smiled and accepted but froze on the spot as I noticed he was still starring at me.
" I must confess, you're damn gorgeous" he said, I raised my eyes and smiled
" Stop kidding, okay? ..............but thanks" I mouthed , Bry smirked
"You're welcome, I mean even with your moustache, you still look stunning" , I quirked my eyebrows
"Huh? Moustache?" I asked confused, unaware of the milky moustache that was on my upper lip due to the Ice cream . Bry stretched and gently wiped my upper lip , then licked his fingers afterwards. ' Gosh , his fingers are so warm on my lips' . We talked for an hour before leaving the ice cream store , On our drive back to my dorm, there was an awkward silence, Bry shifted uncomfortably in his seat then spoke up
" Springston yearly ball is coming up this weekend, I would like you to come along with me as my date ................it's just a date, Don't get it twisted" he said ,
' Does that mean I'm okay to go on dates with hot guys , I mean, Bry is a hot guy and he just asked me to the ball' I said to myself then I thought about Bryan then shook my head
" Nah, I can't" I said , not that I was dating Bryan, why am I getting worked up over it . As usual Bryan apologized online for not showing up and asked for a way to make it up to me , he was cool with it just being a date.

      After my class on Wednesday, I went for rehearsals, the competition was fast approaching,  Tessa's role was given to me both in the dance and the play because she was feeling a little bit under the weather. The rumours that flew around school was that she underwent a butt enlargement surgery, I don't know how true it is but who cares.
Finally, throne competition arrived,the hall was filled with a lot students and youths who were unwilling to miss an event like this. Each had their best dancers . Our costumes were lit , a white bra-like top and red bum shorts , the guys wore red sweat pants. Overboard were on purple, I was trying to get a glance at Bry, he wore a white tank top that made his arms show alongside purple pants. Ten groups were to perform, the Ultimate were the sixth group to perform after Overboard. After watching the overboard perform, I developed cold feet , I don't think we can beat them, the blonde guy read my thoughts and placed his palm on mine to calm me down. I was nervous but my friends reassured me and we did it. We did according to practice. The top 4 will be announced and each group will perform a solo for the final round. I got scared once again after Overboard made it to the best four, the ultimate also made it but it wasn't enough. My group screamed with joy . I was to produce the solo , I recalled Bry's move and thanks to Ciaras new move in the new album she realeased Rock the floor move, I was miming on the floor when Bry came up to beat the other two guys to it, I was left with him on stage just then, " Watch me dance " by silento came on , I vibed to the music and was also motivated by Bry's move which made me break dance, I was impressed with myself because I never rehearsed the dance nor have I done it before . The judges and audience were marveled seeing a girl doing the break dance.

The second runner were awarded, the Overboard got first runner up and the Ultimate won, we rejoiced in unison, hugging each other and screaming.
Our celebration party was held in a pizzaria , Overboard walked into the pizza shop , Bry and I locked gazes , I took the hint and excused myself from my group.
"Congratulations" he said to me
"Thanks......" I replied tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"So ..... about Springston ball " he reminded
" You know, I never really said Yes to you" I said
" Well, I took it as a Yes babe" he smirked and walked out.
'Did he just call me babe?' .........Gross!!!.
